Mergers are sometimes good to save a company and jobs for the common worker. However, it the case of Stables and the fund Sycamore Partners, will lead down a road just to lay off workers and gut the company and make millions on the eventual dissolution of Staples with the loss of not only hundreds (thousands?) of jobs but decrease competitiveness in the marketplace. Please do not let this go through.
